Gorillaz: Charts of Darkness is a 24-minute long mockumentary about Gorillaz which aired on Channel 4 on 12 December 2001.
Synopsis[]
Channel 4 news reporter Krishnan Guru-Murthy embarks on his own narrative journey to investigate the whole Gorillaz phenomenon and find out exactly who the Gorillaz are. Set against the context of massive media interest and a growing global following, Krishnan explores both the real and surreal worlds of the Gorillaz - the 'lives' of the animated band members and their creators. It is a blend of drama, documentary and animation, with humour being the key to the programme.
